Good place to stay

Our stay was wonderful as always. The staff is great, the beds are comfortable, it’s located within walking distance of everything in town. And only 2-3 miles from Mount Rushmore. It’s also off the Main Street so not a lot of traffic noise.

Great place to stay. The staff was friendly and helpful. Their continental breakfast was good. They have a pool and hot tub. The chemicals in the pool were a bit much. It is close to the shops. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful stay, staff was friendly, extremely helpful. Location was awesome. Great little coffee shop across the street shopping right next-door. Quick little drive or walk to a bunch of touristy shops. Extremely close to Mount Rushmore. For the price it was amazing.

We absolutely loved our room. My wife spent a morning relaxing in the room while I got out an explored the black hills. I love the separate areas of bedroom and living area.

The service was great. We stayed in a suite, and the pull out was missing sheets, so they brought some to us. The shower was just okay, but overall, we were pleased.

Hiding in plain sight

Lovely place. we wished would have planned more time here. Fun little aera with a strip mall with Ice-cream shop subway and a lot more. great view of Mount Rushmore and just a couple minuets from the park king suit was larger and nicer than expected for the price. I would plan on a couple of days if I had to do it over. it's very comfortable.

Great location

Great location. Close to everything. Got a 1 bed because 2 beds were sold out. But had a sofa bed. Main bed was comfortable. Had a view of a rock cliff. Sofa bed was old but decent. Furniture is old but also decent. Breakfast was ok. Stayed multiple nights and each breakfast was same with biscuits and gravy, eggs and sausage. Would recommend this place.

You get what you pay for!

This is a cheap hotel and you get what you pay for. The rooms both for a king and double queen were outdated, dirty carpet, area around the sinks were dirty, and the beds likely haven’t been replaced for 10-15 years. The staff was very courteous and the location was awesome!

It’s a nice enough place. But the carpet in my room was stained and dirty and I felt like I had to wear socks or sandals when walking around in my room.
